Authorities and privileges

To modify containers:

1. Open the restore notebook:
   • Open the Restore Database notebook.
   • Open the Restore Database Partition notebook.
   • Open the Restore notebook from the Journal.
2. On the Backup Image page, specify the backup image that you want to use for the restore operation:
   • To use one of the backup images that are displayed, click Select an entry from the list, then select the backup image that you want to use.

     If you have already created a backup image of the database or database partition from this administrative client, Select an entry from the list is preselected because the recovery history file for the database or database partition indicates that a backup image is available.

     If you know that the media type that is displayed for the backup image is not correct, then use the fields that are displayed under Change the media information if necessary to specify the correct media type for the backup image.

   • To use a backup image that is not displayed, click Manually enter the backup image information. Use the fields that are displayed with Manually enter the backup image information to specify the backup image that you want to use.

     If you have not already created a backup image of the database or database partition from this administrative client, Manually enter the backup image information is preselected because the recovery history file for the database or database partition does not contain any backup history.

3. On the Containers page, click Redirect table space containers, then click one or more of the following to specify the type of container modification that you want to perform:
   • Add to create a new container
   • Change to change the path of a selected container
   • Remove to remove a selected container.

   Note:

   In a partitioned database environment, if you want to create a new container or change the path of an existing container, the path must exist at each node where the container will be stored.

4. On the Roll-Forward page, clear the Leave in roll-forward pending state check box to turn it off. This makes the database or database partition usable immediately after the restore operation. (By default, this check box is on).
5. Click OK to begin the restore operation.
